All Springboard courses are 100% online, remote, and self-paced throughout an average of 6-9 months.

Students have access to a unique community of industry mentors, thought leaders, and alumni, who are on hand to offer insights, networking opportunities, and support throughout the program and well past graduation. Every Springboard student is matched with a personal student advisor and industry mentor who guides them throughout the program through regular video calls.

To apply, applicants fill out an online form, take an aptitude test, then talk with a school representative about their background and motivations. For the data science career track a background in statistics and/or programming is required. For the UX career track, students should have academic or professional background in user design or development-oriented fields.

Before graduation, Springboard’s career services team supports students in their job search, helping prepare them for interviews and networking, and facilitates their transition into the tech industry. Springboard's programs are backed with a job guarantee.

Springboard’s support does not end when students graduate. All graduates benefit from an extensive support network encompassing career services, 1:1 career coaching, networking tips, resume assistance, interview prep, and salary negotiation.

    A unique learning experience

    The course definitely has a great introduction to Data Science. It starts off strong with showing you how to utilize python and it’s libraries. I enjoyed going over all the tools used for data analysis and prediction. You can definitely expect to improve your python skills when going over each project and capstone. My mentor was a great and knowledgeable person and I really valued the feedback he provided. It was a great experience learning at springboard.

    Effective, thorough & supportive experience

    I completed Springboards Data Analytics Career Track in 2021 and it was one of the best decisions I've made. I was paired with a mentor to meet on a weekly basis that supported me with all things from assignments to my job search. The course requires students complete two in-depth capstone projects which are then approved and validated by Springboard leadership giving us confidence presenting them during real life job interviews. I was hired before I completed my program and my salary ha...

    ABSOLUTELY PHENOMINAL

    I was a student here at the UX bootcamp and it was fantastic and a great overall experience. I loved how the structure was implemented and how it was seemless for the student. I was paired with an amazing real-industry based mentor to know all the ins and outs of product design. If I could give Springboard Bootcamp a rating between 1-10, I would give it a perfect 10! I had a great experience and if I could do it again, I would :)

    Above and Beyond Expectations

    The entire experience was great. There were the mentors who were prepared and helpful. The curriculum was solid for building an analytics foundation. All the staff supporting the course were helpful. My only critique is that I hated the chapter where they had us learn both Power BI and Tableau at the same time. You should just pick one and stick to that because the cognitive load of learning each UI is immense.

    Specialized Learning on Data Analytics Carrer Development

    I graduated from the Data Anlaytics Program from Springboard in 2021. I learned an increasing amount of knowledge and skills on not just the programming/coding side but also the analytical and story telling. The course keeps you apart and unique from other job applicants/employees because you work on projects that showcases your knowledge and experience you gain in the program. They also help you build your resume professionally and do mock interviews that significantly helps you!

    Great systematic support from Springboard

    I enrolled in the Springboard Data Science Career track in May 2022 and achieved my certificate in Dec 2022. It was a great journey to realize my goal of becoming a data scientist. Intensive courses, numerous hands-on exercises, and mini-projects, along with two personal capstone projects, assist me in mastering skills of Python, Statistics, SQL, Machine Learning and the full life cycle of data science projects.

    I chose the UI/UX career track at  Springboard largely because it let me set my own pace while still giving me access to mentors and other help if I needed it. I enjoyed the course material and the way it was separated into to small buildable chunks that provided easy spots to stop. I feel confident that I have learned the tools I need to be successful in the UI/UX field. I also appreciate that the projects provide you with case studies to create a portfolio website.

The curriculum is extremely well-crafted, with a perfect balance between theory and practice. The coursework is challenging, but the instructors are always available to provide guidance and support when needed.
